Callie

Chef Travis Swikard fell for the flavors of Greece, Spain, Italy, Morocco, the Middle East, and every place along the Mediterranean coastline during his time cooking at iconic French chef Daniel Bouluds NYC restaurant, Boulud Sud. At Callie be brings the diversity of Mediterranean cuisines together with the ingredients and terroir of the greater San Diego region, his hometown. The name Callie is derived from the Greek kallos, meaning the most beautiful, and references the Greek muse who presides over eloquence and epic poetry. Swikard discovered the name while visiting Salvador Dalis home in Cadaques, on Spains Costa Brava. Callie puts the farmers, fisherman, and ingredients of the greater San Diego region at the forefront, and blends them with a Mediterranean palette. At Callie, the two come together to create light, bright, and bold flavors. Cuisine du soleil
